Drown in Blood is a death metal/crustcore band from Hamburg, Germany, active since 2010. They fuse death metal's heaviness with crust punk's raw, filthy energy.
Austin's Drugmugger formed in 2019 at the collision point of crust punk's rawness and sludge metal's molten downtuned weight. The band carries the confrontational, street-level energy of crust into slower, more grinding territory, a combination well-suited to a city whose heavy underground has always had one foot in punk.
Drugs is a black metal and crust punk band from Svidnik and Stropkov, Slovakia, formed in 2011. The project merges black metal with crust punk aggression.
Dumange is a melodic black metal/crust band from Asturias, Spain, formed in 2019. They fuse melodic black metal with crust punk's raw energy from northern Spain.

Dysphoric is a death metal/crust punk/grindcore band from Dresden, Germany, formed in 2021. They fuse the extremity of death metal and grindcore with crust punk's raw filth.
Días Oscuros por Venir is a one-person project from Valentín Alsina, Buenos Aires, helmed entirely by Ignacio Elías Rosner, who handles all instruments, vocals, recording, editing, mixing, and mastering. The project released its debut album Heraldos del Final on August 14, 2024 — a nine-track, approximately 35-minute record blending crust punk and post-black metal with apocalyptic lyrical themes sung in Spanish. The album's closing track, "Destruir el Arca," runs nearly ten minutes and includes a dedication in memory of Argentine metal figure Ricardo Horacio Iorio.
Portland, Oregon thrash and crossover band formed in 2014, Dödläge fuses d-beat's hardcore-derived rhythmic stomp with crust punk's grime and thrash metal's riff attack into an unruly but focused hybrid. Portland's fertile punk and metal underground provides the ideal foundation for this kind of genre collision.
Crust punk and sludge metal band from Edinburgh, Scotland formed in 2024. They bring raw, heavy crust-sludge from the Scottish capital.
